Love in a Puff, by PANG Ho-Cheung


This Chinese romantic comedy was a great film to take my head off things and laugh and relax for a while. Because I have many Chinese friends back in Boston, I wanted to go see a movie that seemed Chinese main stream and learn some more about their sense of comedy and love. The film was full of cute jokes and some cultural references such as the cell-phone generation, lots of make up, and of course, smoking. I liked the way it was filmed, even if it made me a little bit dizzy at times. They used a moving camera during close-ups and very short pace editing. In addition, they used a lot of soft focus to make the scenes look more romantic and dream like.
